Welcome
Another holiday card coming your way inspired by one of the challenges over at Splitcoast Stampers.
The challenge was to use only ONE piece of cardstock, any colour.
I went for this navy piece I had in my stash.
So here's what I did to create my card.
- Like I mentioned above, I got out one piece of navy cardstock. I cut and scored one piece to make a A2 size card.
- Using the other piece of that cardstock, I embossed it with the Lumber 3D Embossing folder (Tim Holtz). I rubbed over it with my Versamark ink pad and added some clear embossing to add interest.
- Next, I took the embossed panel and die-cut it using the Nordic Winter die and set all the pieces aside.
- I glued the die-cut/embossed piece onto the card base I had made from the navy cardstock and pop dotted a few of the elements I had die cut from the panel back in place. It gave a lot more interest and added dimension to my card front.
- I stamped the sentiment on a small leftover piece of the navy cardstock with Versamark and then white heat embossed it. I pop dotted that over the background.
- This turned out to be a fun challenge....so fun to see how we can challenge ourselves to try something different.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Quite a clever response to the challenge! You managed some great details and interest in the whole design. Inspiring!
Awesome design and I love all the texture and the color choice you made. Thanks for sharing how you did it.
WOW!! this is stunning Karen, I love the texture and the wonderful colour. Kate x
Such a pretty french navy blue Karen and love the embossing and then die cutting out the pieces from it before replacing but raising them up for added dimension, and the white embossed on blue sentiment stands out really well. A super card! x
so cool with all the popped up images and love the shade of blue ♥
Love it! Your embossing, die cutting and dimension is so effective. Amazing what you can do with one piece of card and a few cool techniques. Thanks for sharing. Chantell Just Add Ink

Stay safe

This is definitely a WOW card for me. I love this. [Bunny]
This is so striking! Love the monochrome blue, and even more, love the layered die cuts on top!
I love all the texture you've brought to this monochromatic card, Karen. Just lovely. Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink. x
Love the die cutting out of the embossed panel. I would have thought that the second pass through the machine would have flattened the embossing. Lovely card!
